Different Radii Discs
# 1J40.25


Description: Two disks of different radii, but with the same center point are glued together. The demonstrator can show the effect of the radius on the torque by hanging different weights from strings attached to the different disc.

Parts: different radii discs, rack of masses

Purchased/Built: built

Setup Time: 10 min

Quant. in Demo Room: 1
